Super Mario Galaxy

A turning point where Nintendo mastered 3D Mario design with genuinely fair and consistently fun challenges. Gravity-shifting mechanics create clever level variety with polished execution.

Ambitious platformer with excellent level design but overly heavy-handed tutorials throughout.

Two of the finest 3D platformers ever made, now running at up to 4K on Switch 2. While the gyro controls aren't ideal and some camera quirks are more noticeable now, the creative gravity-defying gamep

SwitchUp review scored 88%. Highly recommended.

Colorful, fun return to form with creative gravity mechanics. Hampered by motion controls, weak bosses, unnecessary lives.
